'Ehhh, Galileo himself went on sort of a "unscientific" flight at first... then he did base scientific proof on his "crazy ideas".... so... some times...and sometimes not... just depends...science also includes faith, and the "big leap".....' There's only one 'big leap' in evidence here, and it's not Ga

'I still stand the comment about the certainty of science...' Fair enough, science is an ongoing process - but that's no excuse for resorting to unscientific flights of fancy, is it?

'Yes, but are you a Furry?' Well, I can't speak for ElindelWolf, but I am! Mind you, I like to think that I'm not so much 'A Furry' as 'THE Furry' ...

'I was explaining why i think "illogically" at times (or what others may call illogical)' You didn't mention being illogical at all before, Lucas. You simply said that you 'challenge things at times' which is an entirely different thing - and to be encouraged, as long as you do so by logical or rational

'But what "really is" the universe? I mean, years ago, the "elite" (Scientists) said the world was flat, that the other planets revolved around the earth... How sure are we that we are sure...?' The 'elite' of whom you speak were not scientists! The 'flat earth' view of the world was propogated by rel

A couple of memorable quotes from Carl Sagan may be appropriate here: 'For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.' 'I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.' </fon

I don't rememeber where i read it, but it was discovered that a few million years back (not sure the exact time) Loch lommon was connected to the atlantic... Lucas, my point was that the intense scrutiny of Loch Ness over the last 70 years means that it is more likely to be monster-free than almost any othe

They've had sightings of it all over Who exactly, and what clear evidence has arisen from these sightings? (Hints: 1. Those who believe in it, and 2. None.) As I suggested by the length aspect of my previous comment, what people claim to 'know' tends to vary widely - regardless of whether it concern

Compare these details with what we 'know': a) Pacific Ocean (saltwater) vs. Scottish loch (freshwater) b) 135 million years ago vs. 1933 - present day c) 12 feet long vs. 3 feet - 50 feet d) Marine crocodile vs. plesiosaur Yes, I agree - sort of a coincidence!

Carl Sagan said something like (sorry, can't find the exact quote) 'Either there is alien life out there, or we are alone in the universe. Either way, I find it amazing.' Amen to that.

Nice post. Not sure if I would agree it is necessarily Political Correctness going stupid though. It's an mistake of America-centricity, and that's very definitely NOT PC!

'Going to war without the french is like going deer hunting without an accordion, you just leave behind a bunch of noisy fucking baggage.' Branding an entire nation in this crude fashion is not only tantamount to racism, but fundamentally lazy. The English are not all stiff upper-lipped but with a sec

MM and Dr. G, thank you both - good advice all round, I have no doubt! Nice to see a thread about conflict and hatred get 'hijacked' (albeit maybe only temporarily) into discussing life, love, hope etc.

'very cool about your child! may she just not grow up to be a democrat... heh heh heh.' Thank you; I wouldn't mind if she grew up to be a small 'd' democrat, but a Democrat? No thank you - WAY too far to the right!

'Whoops, To me, he seemed a "puppet"...but, I was wrong...i retract my spewing on it..' Hey, we all 'spew' sometimes. The trick is to acknowledge when we get it wrong. Good for you, Lucas. 'I am hurt! You dont correct me any longer!' Maybe you're getting more grammatical, Dr. Guy!

'Now we can continue to disagree with each other AND be big boys and girls.' Touché. And thanks for your good grace.

She is bright and bonny, rolling over, starting to eat solids, and generally continuing to be an almost (well, we all have off-days!) unadulterated joy.

'I can appreciate your stance furry, but do you think you can make your points without trashing me as a person?' MM, my intention is only to challenge your position, not to trash you as a person. If I have done so - and I concede that in the heat of the argument I may have inadvertently overstepped the line between the two - I offer my sincere apologies.

And I'll stand by what I said too: 'I pity any self-appointed 'crusader' who values blind ideology and the self-delusion of moral superiority over human life.' Being willing for innocent lives to be sacrificed in the name of a political agenda makes you a supporter of terrorism, and no different from those you claim to despise.

Reply to CRAZED MUSLIMS CONTINUE RIOTING IN FRANCE in International JoeUser Forums

'Sometimes killing a few terrorist will save many lives in the future.' You're not talking about killing TERRORISTS in this thread; you're talking about killing innocent civilians - men, women and children whose only 'crime' is to be French. Remember? 'I hope more french are killed and Muslims continue to riot and kill too.' This is exactly the argument that is used by those you oppose to justify their 'holy war' against the West. And France, of c

'one, have traveled ...' Well, that's one in the eye for those who claim that travel broadens the mind ... 'I am not even blind ...' No, not you - just your ideology. 'As long as other countries continue to placate the Muslims the world will continue to see more horror, more killings, more maimings, more beheadings.' And you 'hope it never stops', apparently. If attitudes like yours prevail in either camp, you may well get

'I hope more french are killed ...' / 'I for one hope it never stops ...' / 'I want more riots in the E.U. done by crazed Muslims ...' / '... one can only hope the blow up the Eiffel Tower or the arc de triumph!!!' dippledorp is spot on - you are obviously every bit as full of bile, hatred and prejudice as those you claim to be opposing. All I can do is pity you, just as I pity any self-appointed 'crusader' who values blind ideology and the self-de
